Mother
A total self committment
Not fame or fortune
She gave herself completely
In throught, in word, in deed
She never stopped to wonder
On blessings she might earn
But tried instead to teach me
And prayed that I might learn
And now I'm older, and wiser
I understand much more
And look with admiration
Her presence I adore
Mother gave me everything
A debt I cannot repay
So help God to show her
My love in every way
